Dear Stuchal Family,
I only knew Dave briefly, but my memories of him are good ones. The few conversations we had always left me smiling. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. The world has lost a good man and I pray that you will feel God's comfort at this time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. David was a special friend to me,he never neglected a hug or a kind word to me. His smile could be seen a mile away. He would be in a hurry,but never once hesitated to stop and talk. I will miss him dearly,as David was a beautiful person.

Mr. & Mrs Stuchal and Family,
So sorry for your loss, and your family is in my prayers. Although David is gone from your lives, he will remain in your hearts and memories; as he will mine; for this isn't "goodbye" for you will see David again and be reunited in the heavens.
I went to school with David, he is a very loving and loyal person. Everyone thought the world of him.
Let God heal your pain and let the many memories shine bright in your hearts.

Mr. Dave and Mrs. Mary(and the family),
David was a truly unique person and I am grateful to have known him. Even when he had troubles of his own, he always had time to talk to you and listen to your troubles. He also never missed an opportunity to tell me how much he appreciated everything you two did for him. He will live on in you all, the kids, and in all of us who were priveliged to know him. May God bless you and carry you through this.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Mary & Dave,
Words cannot express the pain I feel in my heart for you and your family. This is the roughest thing you will ever face in your life time. Hold on to your faith in God. He will give you the strength that will see you through in the days to come. The absence is the hardest part. I speak from my own reality. There will be sadness and void in your hearts that will never be filled but the cherished memories will bring you laughter and joy. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all with abundance, peace and love every day.
